The First Three Sins, The Summary

The First Sin, The Strings/Keys: Features fierce energy of aggressive riffs with the robust-groove-laden rhythms, and powerful chugging and solos. The Second Sin, The Vocals: Involves in deep, guttural growls to soaring melodic lines. The Third Sin—The Percussions: Drums form the backbone of this sonic creation, providing a relentless drive that pushes the music forward.

The Fourth Sin, Overall Discussion

Upon pressing the play button, the listeners are greeted by the opening track, Tears, an instrumental introduction that sets the tone for the remaining three pieces, Monster, Parabellum, and Dark Shadows. Comprising thirteen intense minutes, the album takes the listener through a sonic journey filled with haunting yet seductive darkness. It merges the fierce energy of thrash metal, the rhythmic power of groove metal, and the gritty essence of sludge metal.

Warpit delivers a thirteen-minute, intense musical excursion that grips the listener right from the instrumental introduction, to the closing piece. As the listener progresses through the album, they will encounter sonic darkness that is both haunting and seductive. A blend of musical prowess of the fierce, high-octane-anthem energy of thrash metal with the profound, rhythmic power typical of groove metal, and what feels like the dark and gritty essence of sludge metal.

Warpit‘s self-titled album embodies perfectly a voyage through the vast landscape of artistry and devilmanship. It pairs the energy of rapid, intricate and aggressive riffs with the robust groove-laden rhythms and powerful chugging, complemented by solid solos provided by Pierluigi Piras guitar work. The unwavering support of Manolo Frau’s bass and Giacomo Macis drums form the backbone of this sonic creation, providing a relentless drive that pushes the music forward. Enhancing the complexity of their sound, Anthony Roxx vocals traverse a spectrum from deep, guttural growls to soaring melodic lines, crafting an emotional tapestry that infuses each note with dynamic intensity. 

As mentioned, the album fuses the raw intensity of thrash metal with the intricate grooves of groove metal, and what feels like sludge metal, creating a dark atmosphere. This is all delivered by this fruit of art devilmanship -topped with a solid fruit of art composition and arrangement -both musical and instrumental. Creating a carefully curated collection of hymns that showcases the band’s musical prowess and weaves together seamlessly to deliver a unified and impactful sound that resonates with listeners. Each composition reflects the band’s commitment to pushing artistic boundaries and expressing their creative vision with unmatched fruit of art. 

Warpit showcases their versatility and ability to evoke a wide range of emotions through their music and each song.

The album concludes with the final track, The album concludes with its final track, Dark Shadows, serves as a fitting conclusion to the album, leaving a lasting impression that lingers with the listener long after the final notes have faded. We want to give a shoutout to, The Triad Records for letting us review Warpit and their Self-titled album. Now, we are going to conclude the review by talking about the final three sins and concluding the review.

The Fifth Sin, The Memorabilia

For me, Warpit‘s self-titled release may be too short for some, but don’t let the brevity deter you. Warpit is worth the listen, delivering a collection of hymns that are not only musically a fruit of art, but also emotionally satisfying. The tight and powerful performances on each track demonstrate the band’s devilmanship in creating a cohesive and impactful listening experience. At the same time, this not thrash or groove, there is sludge metal sprinkled throughout. This sludginess is especially found (for me, and depending on the listener) in the closing song and within the guitar work, then there are also the vocals within Dark Shadows, that unleash an emotional tone, that are unleashed. — it’s a fruit of art mixture of three elements
